Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East. The great majority of its estimated 75 million live near the banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely-populated centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the Middle East.

How much detail do you want to see?

Set beside an enormous saltwater lake, it’s hard to believe that you’re in the middle of the world’s largest sand deposit. It’s not only comfortable, it’s actually quite luxurious. The architecture, decoration and building materials are just as they would have been more than two thousand years ago.
You may ask how comfortable is it to live without electricity or modern telecommunications? The answer, surprisingly perhaps, is that it’s not only comfortable, it’s actually quite luxurious. There are bathrooms galore, with plenty of hot water and water pressure, but the real luxury of this hotel is the experience. No one needs to be convinced of the romance of dining by candlelight, but the experience of a bedroom and bathroom illuminated solely by dozens of candles is something few of us have encountered. Suddenly your skin looks radiant and you can forget about everything.
